Cavities are the culprits of tooth decay. Taking good care of your mouth is essential to avoid cavities. Dental care is expensive, and one of the ways to avoid costly procedures is to take care of your teeth now. Simply put, the longer you leave problems untreated, the more it will cost you. Obviously, preventative measures are the smartest route. Natural treatments are often overlooked, and by reading this VisiHow article, you may learn some of the best measures for preventing tooth decay, are achieved by treating cavities naturally.

Cavities are formed because food debris is left behind on your teeth, in your mouth and on your tongue. Specifically sugary and starchy foods are your enemy because bacteria love these foods, and thrive on them, turning them into acid. Because the enamel of your teeth - the outer surface - is a mineral, the acid quite easily breaks down the enamel. Soon, the acid gets into the dentin, which is below the surface. The bacteria, combined with saliva, will dissolve the enamel of the tooth, creating a hole. That's how you get a cavity.

Often, the first indication you have a cavity is a toothache. If you eat too many sweets, drink too much soda, and don't brush your teeth at least twice a day, it may cause damage to the structure of the teeth that leads to a toothache. Cut down on sweets and foods that promote cavities and avoid eating foods that are high in phytic acid such as nuts and beans. Phytic acid turns into phytates when dissolved by the body. Phytates can suppress the absorption of some nutrients and likely eliminate calcium from the body. If this happens, you will be prone to cavities.

Your teeth remain healthy and strong when you eat nutritious foods that contain calcium. If your calcium level is low, your teeth become weak and vulnerable to tooth decay. In order to prevent cavities, or to keep existing cavities from getting worse:
